Guest Presentation

• Marlyss Meyer with the Idaho Federation of Families addressed us as to the nature of the Federation and information regarding the role that they play in the cooperative agreement with Health and Welfare to furnish services for families. Several Conferences are planned by the Federation in the coming months. Transitional care for those youths that have been removed from the home is one service that the Federation provides. Philosophy of the Federation is to advocate for families to receive services where needed, utilizing resources from appropriate agencies through collaborative efforts. Most of the staff at the Federation is new, and they look forward to meeting with us.

0910 hrs. Committee Reports Committee Reps

Board of Juvenile Corrections President

• Matt met with the Board. He brought up the $100,000 that has been appropriated for front end FFT. Several counties have heard of this from IYR, but several have not. Referrals are being sought by IYR.
• Cody Wood, program manager at the Sex Offender Unit at St. A’s presented at the Board meeting. Matt suggested that we have Cody present information to us. Debbie Stallcup mentioned that Ian Curley from NCJFCJ has put on some good training also on that subject and that we should explore getting him here too.
• Gender specific grant RFP was put out about the Girl’s Circle Training but no one applied. Some concerns were voiced about the requirements of the grant. Several counties already have some different gender specific programs in place already, and could not add another program. Some detention centers are using the Girl’s Circle, some are not. Matt thought that feedback to the Board is important. It was brought up that the District Liaison should be taking feedback from the counties back to the department but that is not happening. Several districts have good communication with liaisons, but some other districts do not enjoy that relationship.

Youth and Justice Advisory President

• Any questions on standardized report forms. A question was voiced concerning the determination of some budget items. As we know that the form will be adjusted as we come up with concerns, we will need to continue to discuss the form and suggest changes. The committee that worked on this form will be meeting in January, so they will discuss this at that time.
